WOMENS LACROSSE
In the first of two road games this week against nationally ranked
Centennial Conference teams, Muhlenberg lost at No. 14 Dickinson, 17-7.

The Red Devils (8-0, 2-0) stormed out of the gates with five goals in the
first 13:28. The Mules (6-2, 1-2) scored four of the next five, with
back-to-back goals by senior Steph Light making the score 6-4 with
5:35 left in the half, but Dickinson scored the last three of the first
half and the first three of the second half to open up a commanding 12-4
lead.

MENS LACROSSE
Second-ranked Gettysburg scored off the opening faceoff and went on to a
14-6 win in Muhlenbergs first Centennial Conference game of the
season. Sophomore Kyle Farris scored a career-high four goals for
the Mules (3-3).

MENS TENNIS
Muhlenberg dropped its first outdoor home match of the season, 6-1 to
Dickinson. Senior Brad Gutwillig provided the lone point for the
Mules (1-3, 0-2) with a 7-5, 6-4 win at No. 1 singles.

The Muhlenberg softball team still has never defeated six-time national
champion The College of New Jersey, but was in position to do so in both
ends of a home doubleheader.

The Lions (11-5), ranked 27th in Division III and fresh off a sweep of
2005 national runner-up Salisbury, won 2-0 and 3-1 to extend their
all-time winning streak against Muhlenberg to 26.

The Mules (7-9) were held without a hit until the seventh inning of the
first game. With one out, junior Tina Roth lined a single to left.
A walk and a single by senior Missy DeFrain put the potential
winning run on base, but the next two batters were retired.

Muhlenberg took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the second game. With
two outs, junior Hilary Marinchak took third on a delayed steal and
scored on an infield error.

TCNJ tied the score in the top of the fourth, and it remained 1-1 through
the rest of regulation play. Freshman Michelle Consiglio led off
the bottom of the seventh with her second hit, a line drive off the
pitchers forehead, and was sacrificed to second, but was stranded
there.

With the sun setting, the teams went to the international tiebreaker rule
for the eighth. The Lions started with a runner on second and had another
reach by error, then broke the tie with a two-run single. The Mules could
not push across a run in the bottom of the inning.
